Like the title says, I've realised that when I try to use filter or sort on properties that aren't standard supported data types i.e. Using a transformable or a value type like an enum, I seem to be getting the following crash... SwiftData/DataUtilities.swift:1140: Fatal error: Unexpected type for Expansion: Optional<UIColor> Xcode expands and shows me when trying to access the wrapped value it's crashing. I'm assumung that the query property wrapper can't handle these custom data types @Query private var items: [Item] { get { _items.wrappedValue <--- Crash here } } Which seems to be pointing to a transferable property in one of my models. Below are my two models i'm using. enum Priority: Int, Codable, Identifiable, CaseIterable { case low case medium case high var title: String { switch self { case .low: return "Low" case .medium: return "Medium" case .high: return "High" } } var image: Image? { switch self { case .medium: return Image(systemName: "exclamationmark.2") case .high: return Image(systemName: "exclamationmark.3") default: return nil } } var id: Self { self } } @Model final class Item: Codable { var title: String @Attribute(originalName: "timestamp") var dueDate: Date var isCompleted: Bool var isFlagged: Bool = false var isArchived: Bool = false var isCritical: Bool? var priority: Priority? @Relationship(deleteRule: .nullify, inverse: \Category.items) var category: Category? @Attribute(.externalStorage) var image: Data? enum CodingKeys: String, CodingKey { case title case timestamp case isCritical case isCompleted case category case imageName } init(title: String = "", dueDate: Date = .now, priority: Priority? = nil, isCompleted: Bool = false) { self.title = title self.dueDate = dueDate self.priority = priority self.isCompleted = isCompleted } init(from decoder: Decoder) throws { let container = try decoder.container(keyedBy: CodingKeys.self) self.title = try container.decode(String.self, forKey: .title) self.dueDate = Date.randomDateNextWeek() ?? .now self.isCompleted = try container.decode(Bool.self, forKey: .isCompleted) self.category = try container.decodeIfPresent(Category.self, forKey: .category) if let imageName = try container.decodeIfPresent(String.self, forKey: .imageName), let imageData = UIImage(named: imageName) { self.image = imageData.jpegData(compressionQuality: 0.8) } if let isCritical = try container.decodeIfPresent(Bool.self, forKey: .isCritical), isCritical == true { self.priority = .high } } func encode(to encoder: Encoder) throws { var container = encoder.container(keyedBy: CodingKeys.self) try container.encode(title, forKey: .title) try container.encode(dueDate, forKey: .timestamp) try container.encode(isCompleted, forKey: .isCompleted) try container.encode(category, forKey: .category) } } @Model class Category: Codable { @Attribute(.unique) var title: String var items: [Item]? @Attribute(.transformable(by: ColorValueTransformer.self)) var color: UIColor? init(title: String = "", color: UIColor) { self.title = title self.color = color } enum CodingKeys: String, CodingKey { case title } required init(from decoder: Decoder) throws { let container = try decoder.container(keyedBy: CodingKeys.self) self.title = try container.decode(String.self, forKey: .title) self.color = UIColor(possibleColors.randomElement()!) } func encode(to encoder: Encoder) throws { var container = encoder.container(keyedBy: CodingKeys.self) try container.encode(title, forKey: .title) } } And below is an example of me sorting based on my enum (Priority) & Relationship (Category name) func sort() -> [SortDescriptor<Item>]{ switch self { case .title: [SortDescriptor(\Item.title)] case .date: [SortDescriptor(\Item.dueDate)] case .category: [SortDescriptor(\Item.category?.title)] case .priority: [SortDescriptor(\Item.priority?.rawValue)] } } And a filter example below creating a predicate that we will execute to return and matches found in the title or category title let highPriority = Priority.high if let query { return #Predicate { $0.priority == highPriority && ($0.title.contains(query) || $0.category?.title.contains(query) == true) && $0.isArchived == false } } I'm pretty sure this is a SwiftData bug since when using strings, bools and dates it's all fine using anything outside of that box causes these crashes...

I have created an actor for the ModelContainer, in order to perform a data load when starting the app in the background. For this I have conformed to the ModelActor protocol and created the necessary elements, even preparing for test data. Then I create a function of type async throws to perform the database loading processes and everything works fine, in that the data is loaded and when loaded it is displayed reactively. actor Container: ModelActor { nonisolated let modelContainer: ModelContainer nonisolated let modelExecutor: ModelExecutor static let modelContainer: ModelContainer = { do { return try ModelContainer(for: Empleados.self) } catch { fatalError() } }() let context: ModelContext init(container: ModelContainer = Container.modelContainer) { self.modelContainer = container let context = ModelContext(modelContainer) self.modelExecutor = DefaultSerialModelExecutor(modelContext: context) self.context = context Task { do { try await loadData() } catch { print("Error en la carga \(error)") } } } } The problem is that, in spite of doing the load inside a Task and that there is no problem, when starting the app it stops responding the UI while loading to the user interactions. Which gives me to understand that actually the task that should be in a background thread is running somehow over the MainActor. As I have my own API that will provide the information to my app and refresh it at each startup or even send them in Batch when the internet connection is lost and comes back, I don't want the user to be continuously noticing that the app stops because it is performing a heavy process that is not really running in the background. Tested and compiled on Xcode 15 beta 7. I made a Feedback for this: FB13038621. Thanks Julio César

.modelContainer(for: MyMode.self, isUndoEnabled: true) This may work for single model containers, but I have a number of models. I don't see how to enable undo for multiple model containers.

Hi, has anybody managed to get two sqlite stores working? If I define the stores with a configuration for each it seems like that only the first configuration and and therefore the store is recognised. This is how I define the configuration and container: import SwiftData @main struct SwiftDataTestApp: App { var modelContainer: ModelContainer init() { let fullSchema = Schema([ SetModel.self, NewsModel.self ]) let setConfiguration = ModelConfiguration( "setconfig", schema: Schema([SetModel.self]), url: FileManager.default.urls(for: .documentDirectory, in: .userDomainMask).first!.appendingPathComponent("Sets.sqlite"), readOnly: false) let newsConfiguration = ModelConfiguration( "newsconfig", schema: Schema([NewsModel.self]), url: FileManager.default.urls(for: .cachesDirectory, in: .userDomainMask).first!.appendingPathComponent("News.sqlite"), readOnly: false) modelContainer = try! ModelContainer(for: fullSchema, configurations: [setConfiguration,newsConfiguration]) } var body: some Scene { WindowGroup { ContentView() } .modelContainer(modelContainer) } } ContentView is just a basic TabView with a tab for news and a tab for sets. If I run the program this way the sets tab is shown correctly but switching to News fails. If I change the order of the configurations and write the one for news first like this: modelContainer = try! ModelContainer(for: fullSchema, configurations: [newsConfiguration, setConfiguration]) then the news tab is shown correctly and switching to sets tab fails. NewsModel and SetModel only differ in the class name Import Foundation import SwiftData @Model public class NewsModel{ public var name: String init(name: String) { self.name = name } } Also the tab content differs only for referencing the respecting model and the name: import SwiftData struct NewsTab: View { @Query private var news: [NewsModel] @Environment(\.modelContext) private var modelContext var body: some View { ScrollView{ LazyVStack{ ForEach(news){actNews in Text("Hello, News \(actNews.name)") } } .onAppear { let news = NewsModel(name: "News from \(Date())") modelContext.insert(news) try! modelContext.save() } } } } The error message is "NSFetchRequest could not locate an NSEntityDescription for entity name 'NewsModel'" (and SetsModel respectively when change the order of the configuration) Do I explicitly need to tell the modelContext which configuration it should use or is this done automatically? I'm a little lost here and hope someone can help me. Best regards, Sven

I have a WidgetExtension using SwiftData (same ModelContainer setup used in the WatchApp: @main struct Watch_Widget: Widget { let kind: String = "Watch_Widget" var body: some WidgetConfiguration { StaticConfiguration(kind: kind, provider: Provider()) { entry in Watch_WidgetEntryView(entry: entry) .modelContainer(for: [Model1.self, Model2.self]) } .configurationDisplayName("App") .description("descriptions") } } Here's the same model used in the widget view: struct Watch_WidgetEntryView : View { @Query var models: [Model1] var body: some View { let gaugeVal = models.count Gauge(value: gaugeVal, in: 0...60) { Text("min") } currentValueLabel: { Text(String(Int(gaugeVal))) } .gaugeStyle(.accessoryCircular) .widgetLabel { Text("\(models.count) models") } .containerBackground(.fill.tertiary, for: .widget) } } When I build the WidgetExtension, the following error was thrown and the CK data isn't loaded properly: CloudKit setup failed because there is another instance of this persistent store actively syncing with CloudKit in this process.

I have an app that uses CoreData and I want to migrate to SwiftData. After following the Migrate to SwiftData session, I only need to point to my old Core Data file to read the old data and convert it to the new SwiftData format. My question is how do I do this? Maybe worth mentioning is that my NSPersistentContainer(name: "Model") is different to my app name. Possible Solution? According to a Tweet by Donny Wals this is done this way: By default a SwiftData ModelContainer will create its underlying storage in a file called default.store. If you want to change this so you can use an existing Core Data SQLite file, you can point your container to that file instead: // point to your old sqlite file let url = URL.applicationSupportDirectory.appending(path: "Model.sqlite") let config = ModelConfiguration(url: url) modelContainer = try ModelContainer(for: [ Movie.self ], config) My Tested Code @main struct SwiftData_TestApp: App { let url = URL.applicationSupportDirectory.appending(path: "Model.sqlite") let config = ModelConfiguration(url: url) let modelContainer = try ModelContainer(for: [ Item.self ], config) var body: some Scene { WindowGroup { ContentView() } .modelContainer(modelContainer) } } The problem here is that I don’t get it to work in the main app struct. When using this the way described in Dive deeper into SwiftData (at 6:58) I only get the error: Cannot use instance member 'url' within property initializer; property initializers run before 'self' is available PS: There seems to be an issue with this WWDC session method anyway – see this post.

Hi, if I have a @Model class there's always an id: PersistentIdentifier.ID underneath which, according to the current documentation "The value that uniquely identifies the associated model within the containing store.". So I am wondering if it is (good) enough to rely on this attribute to uniquely identify @Model class entities, or if there are edge cases where it does not work (like maybe when using CloudKit)? If anybody saw some information regarding this, please let me know :-) Cheers, Michael
